Quotes from a variety of biblical scholars and secular sources have also been used to explain and clarify ancient history, customs, and geography, as well as to verify the authors' narratives. This book is suitable for private devotions and Bible study groups. The Book of Ruth tells a wonderful story of God's provision for His people. In it, we see His provision for Ruth and Naomi. But as this new commentary by my friend Paula Oneal will reveal, behind the details of this story lies an even bigger story. For in His provision for Ruth, God was providing a king for Israel (David), and even more importantly, a Savior for His Church (Jesus Christ). Once again, Paula has done believers a great service in giving us a useful tool for understanding this marvelous story of God's grace. -Rev. Mike Moreau, Pastor, Central Presbyterian Church (PCA), Kingstree, SC. Again, Dr. Oneal gives us an outstanding source of information to continue our study of the Bible. This commentary is an excellent resource for those who want to grow in their understanding of the Book of Esther. I highly recommend this book by Paula Oneal. -The Rev. Bert Daly, Rector, St. Mark's Episcopal Church, Starke, Florida Dr. Paula Oneal unpacks the books of Ruth and Esther skillfully, helping the reader see God's sovereign hand in the midst of adversity and bad choices. This commentary would act as a good addition to any library in furthering studies of the Redeemer. -Nicholas Sommer, Director of Youth and Family, Grace Presbyterian Church (PCA), Blairsville, Ga.
